ADVICE

Hourly 3-Minute HIIT Breaks

  • Every hour at your computer, take a three-minute high-intensity break like pushups or burpees.
  • Repeating these short bursts across a day adds up to the effect of a full workout.
ADVICE

Four-Second Spike Protocol

  • Do a four-second maximal effort (sprint, jump rope) twenty times spread through the day.
  • Short spikes are therapeutic and easy to fit because each burst is only four seconds.
ADVICE

15 Minutes Of Weekly Strength

  • Do just 15 minutes of weight training once per week focusing on as many muscles as possible.
  • This small weekly session significantly counters age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia).
